The homestead law gives the head of a
family, male or female, the right to enter
a quarter section (160 aeres) of vacant
land, if he or she is a native-born citizen
of the United States, or if foreign born has
taken out first papers. A single man or
single woman over q years OF age is given
the same chance. Within six months from
date of entry the party must build a house
on the Land taken and begin living in it.
If he lives on and farms it for five years,
title is acquired by proving those facts and
paving the land Office fees, four Or eight
dollars, the latter the highest figure. If

Senator Brown says that "the Creator
never intended women to vote. But in
the absence Of any special revelation from
the Creator on that point, We doubt
whether Senator Brown knows. If the
will OF God can be inferred from the
tendency of events, all who can read the
signs of the times are fast coming to per-
ceive that He does mean women to vote.

The Illinois Central Railway
Company has given notice of its with.
drawal from all pools. Sharp COM
pany! The Central is not an Inter.
State road, and cannot be affected by
the famous law except as to its
through traffic--that is, on through
freight from some point beyond its
own lines to another point beyond its
,ternini. 1t therefore withdraws from
the pools, as preliminary step to
charging just what it pleases, without
regard to connecting roads. This will
probably result in higher rates in ILL

DEAR MAJOR:

DEAR MAJOR:
Your correspondent is glad to
note that this part Of Lincoln Go.
was never in a more prosperous
condition. Crops Of all kinds prom
iscs an abundant yield, and the
STEADY flow OF immigration amongst
US insures good prices for every
thing the farmer has to sell. We
are sorry however, 90 see so many
poor people coming here, wholly
dependent upon their labor as a
means of sustcnaucc. While there
is a great deal of Improvements
going on throughout the country,
and especially in the mines, there
is not work for many. Distance
lends cnchantmcnt, and many
times leads TO despair and want.

their local ranch troubles that has
embarrassed them so much in the
past. Besides, their generous,
opcnhan led hospitality, and uni
form kind treatment as shown tC
all, has already made them hosts
of friends.
This community is at presen.
considerably exercised over the
fencing OF the TT. Stanton military

see the benefit thatwill accrue to thu
